Monster Pony Kicks

The Gossamer-Inspired Nike Air Force 1 'Monster Beast'

If you do not know what or who Gossamer is, click through to the last picture and it will come back to you. These Nike Air Force 1 ‘Monster Beast’ shoes are hands down my favorite of the season.

Why are they my favorite? First, they are made out of pony hair. Second, how perfect would these be for a ginger kid wearing a camel hair sport coat on Halloween? Third, picturing the second reason is enough. Nike never fails to impress with its seasonal shoes, and the Nike Air Force 1 ‘Monster Beast’is no exception.
